I have a golden puffer in about the 9" range. He has always been very active and sociable and ate like a pig until about 3 weeks ago. He started getting less active and he was starting to eat less and less. I couldnt see any sighns of parsites on its body but I did notice a something wierd going on with the lower part of its beak. Its not broken or anything it almost looks more like a cavity, the rim of the beak on both sides has a browning to it and the part of the beak on the inside of its mouth looks like there is some type of fuzz on it. He hasnt anything now in maybe 8 days he acts hungry sometimes but when I go to feed him he refuses. If anyone has any thoughts on what to do please let me know.

Thanks again.

Welcome to the MarineDepot.com forums!

What are your water parameters?

What size tank is the puffer in?

What tankmates?

What are you feeding the puffer?

How long have you had the puffer?

Can you post a pic of the puffer's mouth?

Again, welcome.
